Take you to the cinema 
and leave you in a Wimpy Bar - 
you tell me that we've gone too far - 
come running up to me. 
Make the scene at Cousin Jack's - 
leave him to put the bottles back - 
mends his glasses that I cracked - 
Well that one's up to me. 
Buy a silver cloud to ride - 
pack the tennis club inside - 
trouser cuffs hung far too wide- 
well it was up to me. 
Tyres down on your bicycle - 
your nose feels like an icicle- 
the yellow fingered smoky girl 
is looking up to me. 
Well I'm a common working man 
with a half of bitter - bread and jam 
and if it pleases me I'll put one on you man - 
when the copper fades away. 
The rainy season comes to pass - 
the day-glo pirate sinks at last - 
and if I laughed a bit too fast. 
Well it was up to me.
